Rockets Launched At Ashkelon; None Injured
2014-01-16
[Ynet] At least five rockets launched from Gazoo Strip. Iron Dome intercepts rockets; none injured. IDF patrolling region to see if additional rockets hit open area
Yes, it's harder to get supplies through the tunnels the Egyptian army has locked down. Nonetheless, a stash of much-improved replacements awaits transportation from Hizb'allah storehouses, and room must be made.
At least five rockets were launched from the Gazoo Strip in the direction of Ashkelon, at approximately 2:00 am Thursday. The Iron Dome missile defense system most likely intercepted all rockets.

No injuries or damage were reported.

A red alert siren sounded in and around Ashkelon prior to the interceptions.

The IDF is combing the area to see if another rocket launched at the region had hit an open area.

On Monday, only a short time after leaders from Israel and the world left the northern Negev ranch where former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was laid to rest, two rockets were launched at the area. There were no injuries or damage reported.
